RANSLATION
1) When will that opportune moment come to us, when there will be shivering of the body as soon as we chant Lord Gauranga’s name? While chanting Hare Krsna, when will there be tears in the eyes?
2) When will I obtain the mercy of Lord Nityananda-candra? When, by His mercy will the desire for material enjoyment become very insignificant?
3) When the mind is completely purified, being freed from material anxieties and desires, then I shall be able to understand Vrndavana and the conjugal love of Radha and Krsna, and then my spiritual life will be successful.
4) When shall I be very much eager to study the books left by the Six Gosvami’s, headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami? By their instruction I shall be able to properly understand the loving affairs of Radha and Krsna.
5) My only aspiration is to attain the lotus feet of the Six Gosvamis headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. Narottama dasa constantly prays to attain their lotus feet.
parama karuṇa–supremely merciful; pah dui jana–the two Lords; nitāi gauracandra–Lord Nityānanda and Lord Gauracandra; saba avatāra–of all incarnations; sāra–They are the essence; śiromaṇi–and the crest jewels; kevala ānanda-kanda–exclusive fountains of bliss.
(2)
bhajo bhajo–just worship, just worship; bhāi–O brothers!; caitanya nitāi– Lord Caitanya and Nityānanda; sudṛḍha viśvāsa kori’ –with firm faith; viṣaya chāḍiyā–giving up sense gratification; se rase–in that mellow of worship; majiyā–absorbing; mukhe–with your mouth; bolo hari hari– chant Hari! Hari!
(3)
dekho–just see; ore bhāi–O dear brothers!; tri-bhuvane–within the three worlds; nāi–there is none; emona–such as these; doyāla dātā–charitable givers of mercy; paśu–even the animals; pakhī–and the birds; jhure– weep; pāṣāṇa vidare–stones melt; śuni’ –upon hearing; jāra–whose; guṇagāthā–glorification of Their qualities.
(4)
saḿsāre majiyā–entrapped in the materialistic sense gratification process; rohili poḍiyā–falling and remaining; se pade–for Their lotus feet; nahilo āśa–you have no aspiration; āpana karama–your own bad karma; bhuñjaye–you are being punished (lit. ‘enjoying’); śamana–by Yamarāja, lord of death; kahoye locana-dāsa–thus says Locana dāsa.
The two Lords, Nitai-Gauracandra, are very merciful. They are the essence of all incarnations. The specific significance of these incarnations is that They introduced a process of chanting and dancing that is simply joyful.
2) My dear brother, I request that you just worship Lord Caitanya and Nityananda with firm conviction and faith. If one wants to be Krsna conscious by this process, one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification. One simply has to chant, “Hare Krsna! Hari Hari!” without any motive.
3) My dear brother, just try and examine this. Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord Caitanya or Lord Nityananda. Their merciful qualities are so great that upon hearing Them even birds and beasts cry and stones melt.
4) But Locana dasa regrets that I am entrapped by sense gratification. Since I have no attraction for the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, then Yamaraja, the superintendent of death, is punishing me by not allowing me to be attracted by this movement.
